Beam measurement method and apparatus

A method for beam measurement, comprising:

• sending, by a network device, measurement configuration information of at least one beam to a terminal, the measurement configuration information being used in measuring the at least one beam and the measurement configuration information comprising a measurement identifier (ID) and a first signal strength threshold, wherein the measurement ID corresponds to an ID of the at least one beam and the first signal strength threshold is used to indicate a minimum threshold of signal strength required for signal transmission of a beam, wherein the at least one beam comprises a plurality of beams and the plurality of beams belong to a plurality of cells;
• and
• sending, by the network device, information through a target cell where the terminal can camp, the target cell being determined according to signal strength, obtained by measurement of the at least one beam by the terminal according to the measurement configuration information of the at least one beam, of the at least one beam and the first signal strength threshold, wherein the target cell is a cell with a highest number of beams of which the signal strength meets the first signal strength threshold.
